I’ve heard there’s a big gray bear from a kid’s movie with my same name. Wow! Does that mean I’m famous? I’m definitely a big pyr boy, and I do have some beautiful badger markings! I’m also famously good with people. My GPRA friends say I’m a cuddly teddy bear who likes attention and lots of pets. Brushing is kind of like getting pets too, so I love to be brushed! Foster Mama tells me that I’m a velcro dog, so I like to stay by her side while she’s working from home. I’m an amazing co-worker because I’m bear-y easy on the eyes and my snores are light enough not to get picked up on Zoom! Bears have to hibernate sometimes, and I take my naps midday. I really would benefit from a family who is home more often than not or even a household where one person works from home because I get nervous when I’m home by myself. Between Baloo (that’s me) and you, people are the honey to this bear! While my human family is the center of my world, I love other dogs too. I have a foster dog sibling, and all I want is for us to play like two bear cubs! It would be great to have a yard and a doggy companion around my size in my new home. Us bears are climbers by nature, so I’ll need a six-foot fence to stay safe. The cartoon Baloo sings and dances which means he is light on his feet. I walk very gracefully too because I’m good on the leash. While film Baloo lives in the jungle, I like to live in a house. The great thing is that I’m basically housetrained; I haven’t had an accident yet! I may not have a movie deal like my namesake, but I’ll make you a deal: adopt me and I’ll love you forever and always.

Good morning, Sirs and Mams. Private Tank reporting for duty! Lieutenant Foster Mama and I go through our training drills every day, and I’ll do them daily with any new recruits, I mean family members, to stay in tip-top shape. Right now, I know the commands: sit, down, back up, and heel. I can even salute you, or give paw as the civilians call it. My commander, Trainer Tim, is working on the stay maneuver with me, and I’m working hard on it! Marching, or walking on a leash, is something I do well too. Sometimes, Lieutenant Foster Mom has to say, “Halt!” when some wildlife passes by, but otherwise, I keep marching steadily along. Driving a tank, I mean riding in a car, is another one of my specialties. Like every good soldier, I have to follow orders and that also means making sure I look my best at inspection. Lucky for me, I love being bathed and brushed. Uniform, or fur, inspection is important, but keeping one’s barracks, I mean house, tidy is essential as well. It’s a good thing I’m house-trained and potty-trained. When I need to use the latrine, I trot out to the yard through the doggy door. During my leave, when I’m not training or marching, I like to use my down time to cuddle my foster parents.  It’s even fun to just stand at attention next to them while they’re on the couch. Belly rubs and leaning against your legs are also standard procedures for in-home time. Being inside with my fellow troops, my foster family, is my favorite way to be at ease. I’m happy to serve even during chill time, though; if I hear a threatening noise, I’ll bark to let you know. I’m a loving, loyal dog who wants to be your one and only fuzzy guardian!
